Like, pro-life people legitimately think they are saving the lives of infants. And yes, if someone thinks that, then of course it makes sense they're gonna try to make abortion illegal. You would too if you fuckin thought you were preventing the mass slaughter of innocents.

I've never personally noticed this, and feel that what you've said here is the common response I hear in my circles?

I'm glad to hear this! Most of the response I've gotten has been on the internet, which might be part of the problem (although this is even in semi-private internet circles).

People who don't understand basic biology trying to impose their standards upon others in that context have no right to claim they don't deserve to be mocked, regardless of their intentions.

This is exactly the kind of reaction I'm talking about. I'm not talking about what should happen from your point of view, I'm saying that we should imagine what it's like to be someone who, in their reality, babies are being slaughtered around you.

There's more than one motivation to do things. I fully believe there are people who think think they're saving babies. I also think there are people who want to control women who demonstrably don't gaf about the babies once they're born.

I agree in general, and motivations do vary. I do think the argument that "they stop caring once the babies are born" is a good argument and deserves discussion - but it's a different discussion than the abortion thing.

Yes they think they save a child's life but they definitely do not care about it from the moment it is finally born. If they cared about life that much, they should also provide for a child to have everything it needs to grow up. But no, the mother and father are on their own

This is a fair critique! But it's not a critique about abortion, it's a critique about conservative values being more on independence and less on care and empathy.

I do think there are certain key leaders of the movement for which that is part of their motivation. But I do agree that it's a useless point because it's been poisoned through widespread misapplication.

I see where you're coming from, and I think it's a valid point. It's just pretty hard to square with the huge chunk that supports rape/incest exceptions. If they sincerely believe they're saving innocents from slaughter, why allow those exceptions?
